Jayrod Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) With many projecting Russia to actually invade, I'd like to keep a place for the actual news of the situation, open discussion and avoid the typical Politics Forum arguments. If you want to talk about Biden vs. Trump, these are not the droids you are looking for. US Intelligence suggests Russia will invade Ukraine within a week We have been officially telling all US citizens to leave Ukraine and head home as invasion is possible. The Russians have enough troops ready to effectively invade. This may legit go down and make our already chaotic world a little more nutty.

tri-man 47 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 To paraphrase the Gladiator: People should know when they're conquered. But ...it isn't that simple. Russia might win the battle but lose the war. Three likely problems for Russia: (1) Ukraine will not just roll over and give up their homeland; (2) even if Russia 'defeats' them, it could result in longer term chaos and cost, and (3) Russia could pay a severe price from international sanctions (though I've read that they've been buffering themselves against some of that). I'm aware that eastern Ukraine has a heavily Russian heritage, but it still seems somewhat surreal to think about a major power attacking another nation like this. I guess our world hasn't moved past that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't seen that since Iraq tried to take Kuwait. Ukraine is a lot bigger and more powerful than Kuwait was and I feel like the world will step in on Russia if they really try it. Maybe not WW3, but a lot bigger clash than we've seen in my 44 year lifetime. Maybe the Korean War would be a more apt comparison? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtjester Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I am hoping my post doesn't come off as too political, but I love history and what is going on is fascinating/terrifying all at the same time. So please I hope I don't offend anyone. My take is Putin put on this massive training exercise to just test the waters and see what the response would be., I think he would love to invade, but let's face it, Russia's economy is a mess. Ukraine isn't going to roll over and Russia cannot have a long, drawn-out skirmish. In addition, how are they going to afford to occupy this new satellite? As JD just posted above, the world will crush them with sanctions. Enter Biden, he needs a victory right now wherever he can get it. He gets to play the tough guy and respond to this. If Putin withdraws, he can claim he made that happen. The problem is his over-the-top rhetoric is creating an environment where Russia may be goaded into actually doing something, so as to not look weak. The Biden team has created this urgency in the MSM that the attack could come at any minute--any second, when in fact, Russia is now stuck trying to save face on how to get out of this. The US has already said our troops will not be part of this if it goes down. So, what we are left with is Biden acting like that one guy in a bar fight who stands on the sidelines imploring/hyping a fight, when in fact the two combatants want nothing to do with it. Let's remember even the Ukranian leader asked him to please tone it down. I think we are at a tipping point in a battle of wills. How much will Putin put his pride in front of common sense and do something just so as to not look weak? On the flip side of the coin, any war with Russia is extremely unpopular here in the US (as evidenced by multiple polls) and will this tough talk come back to haunt us if an invasion happens. Again, maybe I am way off and next week Russia just goes balls in and blitzkriegs across Ukraine like no tomorrow. I still find the whole situation interesting from a historical type of perspective. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal El Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So from what I’ve read about this(not much, because I’m doing my level best to avoid all things political), this is because Putin wants Russia to have more influence, because I guess he sees the West as a threat. Personally, I don’t have anything against the Russians(aside from their awful drivers and terrible weather), and I hope that cooler heads prevail, because otherwise a lot of people are going to die.

Very interesting analysis. I think Biden's rhetoric is giving Putin pause, without it I think he'd go in with impunity. I happen to think Putin's bluffing and will draw down his troops. Way too much time has gone by and Ukraine and NATO have both had ample time to strategize and respond. Like the jester noted, what's Russia's endgame here? They have tons of issues at home and now they're going to extend themselves further by occupying a hostile country? Doesn't make sense to me. But with Putin, who really knows.

In the Cold War/U.S.S.R. era, there were no NATO countries on they’d borders. East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Albania were controlled by brutal force. Today 5 of the 14 countries bordering Russia are NATO allies. The fundamental security promise of NATO is an attack on any member is considered an attack on all members. Ukraine is nowhere near being accepted (it takes a unanimous vote of 30-0) but it’s a distant possibility. Ukraine has been independent for 30+ years and holds democratic elections. The Communists have had no national representation in Ukraine since 2014. For obvious reasons Putin/Russia hate the example their neighbor sets. I’m trying to better understand what Putin’s end game is - he’s given the UK/US impossible demands which he knows won’t be met (I.e., a halt to NATO’s expansion eastward, a formal veto on Ukraine from ever joining the military alliance, and a rollback of NATO military deployments in the region.) On a micro level, many Russians feel Russia/Ukraine are inextricably linked. Historically they are one Slav people and have been since the 9th century. But this view of course ignores the wishes of the Ukrainian people, who long ago chose autonomy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many though, I don't have a clue. The interesting thing is they’re nowhere near being a superpower. We get it, 6K nukes - essentially useless to both sides bc MAD (will never be used.) They’ve got 1/7th the military capability we do, - 1/14th the economy. 330M v 144M. By any nonnuclear measurement, Russia is inferior. Land mass. Crushing the land mass game. Doubt we have plans to pull a Napoleon/Hitler and invade them. Our actual, ready to deploy technology dwarfs their capabilities. War is horrendous, we would never let it get to that. But if it did - I don’t want it, you don’t, he doesn’t, but if - we would immediately take out their satellites with SM-3 and Arrow 3 missiles. That’s the first 30-120 minutes - and it would have nothing to do with troops, tanks, or ships. Game over. It wouldn’t matter how many troops, reserves Russia or U.S has in the region. It would be a modern technological war decided by four primary factors: 1. Target acquisition (who has the better target data, detection and tracking abilities) 2. Accuracy at great range (Who would be able to deliver cruise and ballistic missiles to crucial targets first, accurately and from great range) 3. Fire first advantage (Who launches a mass attack first would have a great advantage) 4. Air superiority. Who comes to rule the skies first would stop any and all progress of any ground based assets. They do not possess the capacity to do the same. In the war that will never be fought, we would dominate target acquisition. It’s the NFL VS a mid-level MAC squad, who ya got? _______________ Like I said, don’t understand his end game. Not rolling NATIO security back 30 years. The Eastern Block band isn’t getting back together. I guess he is betting no western leader will match his moxie. He might be correct about that.

China is not coming to Russia’s aid in the event of conflict. China’s only formal ally is North Korea. China is being more direct in exerting their influence.
